Built in 1780, this historic federal style home was owned by Captain Sampson, a prominent sea captain and an active participant in the early history of the town of Waldoboro. The property sits on Sampson Cove, a testament to the enduring legacy of the Sampson family. This four-bedroom, two-bath home has many of the original features and longs for a restoration to honor its historic charm. The first floor features a barn that fits one car, a den with a wood stove, an open kitchen with ample sunlight and fireplace, a dining room, a full bathroom with a tub, a small bonus room that could be used as a first floor bedroom and a family room with a wood-burning fireplace and beautiful wide-plank hardwood floors. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and a large bathroom with a tub shower. An unfinished third floor offers stunning long views of the Medomak River, offering a glimpse into the past where Captain Sampson himself might have gazed out from its windows. The property, spanning 4.8 acres with 200 ft of waterfront on the Medomak River, gently slopes from the house to a flat area closer to the shore. This area has been soil tested for an additional building opportunity. This classic home and property have limitless potential for a buyer looking to restore a historic home with the option to further develop closer to the shore.
